I'm looking at the publicity pic on a MONSTER imac screen and they sure look like slip-on shoes. Like these.

Perhaps they're like the fireman's boots.

Either one seems to me sorta wimpy. I certainly don't gear up all the time, but I do ride with shin high boots and gloves ALL THE TIME, because I figure there's two things that will hit the ground in a crash: hands and ankles.

Agreed... I wear ICON Field armors at the bare minimum and the rest of the ATGATT

Gotta be a typo here: I can't believe this thing would get 22 mpg. 32, yes.
(and at 22 mpg the tank would be empty at 147 miles).

A 150-mile route emptied most of the F6bís 6.7-gallon tank. That was a mix of 85mph freeways, 35mph surface streets andÖenthusiastic riding on back roads, but still, 22mpg or so isnít terribly impressive, neither is a relatively limited tank range from whatís otherwise an excellent tourer.

I read that, too, and found it surprising. I wonder if they were just thrashing that engine to the redline every chance they had.

Then thereís the motor. Itís huge. Itís sophisticated. Itís smooth. Thereís torque everywhere, so you can leave it in 6th gear down to walking pace while still retaining the ability to rocket past cars by just rolling on the throttle.
